Weekly Updates

Holy Rosary has once again been blessed by a generous gift. Mrs. Karen Weiss, of Epiphany of Our Lord Parish, missed the sign that once welcomed guests to the playground that flanks the school.  Twenty years ago, after the death of beloved Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Joanne Cromie of Epiphany of Our Lord School, the community came together and built a playground honoring her for many years of dedication to children.  Upon completion of the recreation area a large sign was erected, but unfortunately, it did not last long because of the weather.  After Mrs. Weiss visited the campus recently, she gave us the green light to fashion a new sign.  Calling upon the expertise of her son Ben, who is employed by Signarama, we designed a sign that showcases Holy Rosary’s colors, will endure the weather, and once again announce that the playground was built to honor Joanne Cromie.  We are thrilled with the results.  We invite the community to enjoy our playground after school hours and we welcome donations for the upkeep of the space and its equipment. At the beginning of each school year we must replace fifty yards of mulch that helps to protect the children. Ideally a permanent surface would be a better choice and cheaper in the long run.  Additionally, equipment needs to be replaced regularly from normal wear and tear. If you would like to help us keep this fun playground up to date, please contact us at Holy Rosary. Thank you and enjoy the space as much as we do!

Monthly Notes

During this second month of 2020, the Catholic Church celebrates the Holy Family. As Catholics and Christians, we look to Mary, Joseph, and Jesus as models for our own families. We love our children and we set goals for them in school, in sports, and in their extracurricular activities. Are we also setting goals for their faith development? Are we teaching them to love others as much they love themselves? Are we encouraging them to unselfishly give to others? Are we teaching them to live by the Golden Rule? In Mathew’s 25th Chapter, Jesus says directly that when we take care of others, we actually encounter Him.

By making the sacrifice to send your children to Catholic School, you are giving them the opportunity to encounter Jesus. At Holy Rosary they can experience their faith all day long. The benefits of a Catholic School go far beyond Religion classes. For example, each day they learn about the lives of the saints during morning announcements. They start each class with prayer. They pray together for sick members of their families and the school community. Presently, they are creating a rosary in Art class as a gift of gratitude for Tom Cahill, our generous donor. They celebrate Mass and the sacraments together. They are involved in service opportunities throughout the school year. Additionally, they observe their teachers sharing their faith witness.

Bearing in mind our goal of developing our children’s faith, it is essential that we keep prayer and the sacraments as the center of school and family life, and to do this, let us continue to rely on God’s graces.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We, Catholic people, are blessed with so many beautiful sacramentals and devotions that flow from our Faith. These wondrous aids to our salvation are consoling and strengthening. Of course, among them is our knowledge of Our Lady’s role in humanity’s salvation. Along these lines is a forthcoming feast, that of Our Lady of Lourdes, on February 11th.

Our school has created a “sensory” hallway to give students another outlet to move throughout the day, outside of gym class and recess. The students follow the path in the morning and again after lunch. When a student seems a bit too fidgety during class, teachers might send them out to the path to recenter themselves.
